3.7. Easy Line Connectors (ELC)
The Easy Line Connectors enables a quick loosening and connection of the kite’s
flying-lines, without reducing the collapse load of the line. That way, it is much easier
to put tangled up bridle lines back in order. Make sure not to lose the metal
connectors.
Connect the lines the way it is illustrated below. Compare the result with the pictures
and check the stability of the connection.
3.8. Variable Line Length (VLL)
FLYSURFER kites (except for the ROOKIE²) have 3 separable flying-lines of 3, 6 and
12 m, which add up to 21 m in length. That way, the line length of 21 m can be
reduced in 3 m intervals from 21 m to 0 m, if desired. The 3 sections can also be
obtained individually, so the lines can also be extended if desired. An exact
description can found in our tuning section (chapter 14.2.).
3.9. JET FLAP Technology
Most FLYSURFER kites are equipped with the trend-setting JET FLAP Technology
(JFT).
Air is conducted from the bottom sail (pressure area) to the top sail (low-pressure
area) and is blown out there with higher speed. The connection is established
through jet shaped channels, which are located in the rear section of the wing.
When increasing the angle-of-attack, the danger of airflow stall will be minimized.
The result of the delayed stall is a higher lift per m². Furthermore, the JET FLAPs
decrease luffing, due to their elevator characteristic.
3.10. Nose Valves (EXTACY/SPEED)
Since the EXTACY, we have been using a special nose valve, which effectively
prevents the profile from denting when depowering. The result is a larger wind
window, because of less kite-resistance when depowering. Thus, the performance is
enhanced. The power/m² is higher and the downwind pull is reduced, which again
increases the flight speed and upwind performance. The bottom line: kiting is more
fun!
